The strange footsteps sounded rapid and dense. They were not just one or two people, but... no doubt, a large area.
And the sound of a large number of dense footsteps was just the beginning. After a few seconds in the blink of an eye, the sound of dense footsteps became no different from thunder.
Zicheng Zhaili,
Li Sheng and several of the waiters were stunned and looked at each other.
Then they all turned their heads and looked outside the store...
At this glance, the good guy Wuyang Wuyang is full of people. The whole street is filled with people like a flood. Everyone is taking steps and running wildly.
And the direction of running wildly...
Li Sheng, Ying'er, and a few other guys quickly thought of it.
In this direction, so many people can gather...
Without a doubt, the Palace!
Li Sheng's eyes widened.
Nima, at this time...haven't the Forbidden Army marched to Northern Xinjiang?
So many people gathered at once, especially if there was a fire in the backyard and there was a coup.
Isn’t that going to cause big trouble???
Li Sheng thought to himself that he was still the commander of the Yulin Army. For now, at least, he still had the title of general in name only.
Of course, as someone with the title of general, he doesn’t even know about the coup in the palace, which is a bit funny...
But then again, if there really was a coup, then there would be nothing to worry about in this official position.
Anyway, after Li Eryi fell, there is a question mark as to how long the newly established Tang Dynasty can survive under the iron heel of the Turks...
But then, when Li Sheng went out and took a look, he saw a little child running after him.
Seeing that there seemed to be no adults following the child, Li Sheng pulled the child into the shop and asked.
Under this inquiry...
Only then did Li Sheng understand what was going on.
It took a long time, but Boss Pei Ji, who was deposed and moved to the left not long ago, came outside Zhuque Gate to plead guilty.
It doesn't matter that he is asking for forgiveness, the key is that Pei Ji still has his personal belongings with him.
The content of this private article is naturally about the epidemic that has been spreading in Chang'an recently.
Li Sheng squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned back to look at the people in the shop.
"Speaking of Ying'er, and...everyone, has His Majesty recently decreed that everyone should use soap to bathe?"
Li Sheng vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard this anecdote in Chang'an City recently when he was in the western suburbs of the city.
If you look at it this way...
This disease spreads quite violently, but I haven’t heard of large-scale spread recently.
This strange contradiction aroused Li Sheng's curiosity.
But then Yinger explained it, and Li Sheng understood...
"really……"
"Sir, we in Zichengzhai all know the effects of soap. Your Majesty is imposing severe punishments this time to promote the law. In fact, Ying'er feels..."
"I see."
Li Sheng waved his hand, "This epidemic should have been nipped in the cradle, just like the previous one. The only difference is this time... Hehe, some people want to take advantage of the epidemic to make the country hard to make money."
"What?!"
Li Sheng guessed it with a smile, and Ying'er immediately became furious when she heard it.
"This is too unscrupulous. The merchants of my generation exist to exchange what is needed with other parts of the Tang Dynasty. Who is so unscrupulous that he dares to make such a fortune?!"
"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning..."
"etc!"
Halfway through, Ying'er suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, "I remembered you, Master. Recently, all the drug stores in Chang'an City have been closed. Could it be that..."
"Even if the people are hit by the epidemic, how can they have the financial resources to buy so many pharmacies and close them in a short time?"
"This can only be one reason...someone is deliberately hoarding medicinal materials. And this Pei Ji today...hehe."
The boy told what he had heard about Pei Ji.
Li Sheng understood the whole story, and when he compared it with Pei Ji's words, he immediately understood.
Why did Pei Ji come to Li Er to plead guilty? He was clearly here to bargain.
However, despite the sinister plot, Li Sheng was not too worried.
The antiseptic effect of soap has been verified by later generations for hundreds of years. Now coupled with the promotion and use of Li Er's strict punishment, the disease will definitely not be able to spread.
If Pei Ji comes to bargain, he will probably be left alone...
However, Li Sheng could also guess that although Pei Ji's plan would inevitably fail over time, it would not be easy for Li Er to deal with it.
After thinking for a moment, Li Sheng revealed a smile.
Immediately ordered Ying'er to get a sealed bottle of ice-cold mixed juice, and wrote a brief note at the same time.
Then, he took out a piece of gold leaf, which was worth a lot.
Li Sheng handed a bottle of juice and a note into one of the child's hands, and then stuffed a huge amount of pocket money into the other hand...
Then he said, "Good boy, you will follow the adults in a moment. When His Majesty leaves the city gate, you will hand over this bottle and this paper to His Majesty. Do you understand?"
The child was a little scared, but he looked at the gold leaf in his hand...
How many carriages of candied haws will we need to buy...
Li Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is a good man. He will not hurt you. Go ahead."
The child nodded ignorantly, then quickly left the store and ran towards the door...
Watching the child run away, Ying'er was a little curious, "Sir, why do you want to give...the juice to His Majesty?"
"Juice? What juice? That's medicine!"
Li Sheng chuckled and said, "This is a holy medicine for preventing and treating epidemics. Just keep an eye on it."
…
But he said that Li Er received the bottle and note and let the child go.
Then I opened the note and took a look, only to see a line of familiar fonts...
This font has a large number of simplified strokes. If a group of great scholars saw it, they would definitely get angry.
But Li Er was very familiar with it.
This trace is unique in the world.
This is Sheng'er's handwriting!
"General Li Shengqi of Yulin is reporting to Your Majesty:"
"I know a little bit about what happened today. I have specially prepared this medicine to offer it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty can tell the people that the patients in the refugee camp have recovered after taking this medicine. The people can prevent it even if they are not sick by taking it, and the people's hearts can be calmed down."
! For the subsequent medicine, just go to Zichengzhai and get it."
A simple line of words.
Li Er read it at a glance.
Countless civilians, officials, and Pei Ji below looked at Li Er with a trace of confusion and nervousness in their eyes.
Li Er himself was also a little dumbfounded.
That's it?
Can this bottle of medicine cure the epidemic?
This time, Sheng'er actually proposed a plan directly to "Your Majesty". This medicine was no small matter.
But... hasn't the epidemic been dealt with?
The key issue now is the unstable public sentiment!
If you don't care about it on weekdays, you won't hear what's going on outside the window. Anyway, the people will gradually feel relieved once they see that the problem is over.
But now that the main force of the Forbidden Army is outside, what they are afraid of is a civil unrest.
but……
Thinking of this, Li Er was startled again.
Well……
Can the medicine in this bottle be taken to prevent diseases?
Then...even if there is no need for treatment, as long as it is distributed to the people, it seems that it can calm the people's hearts, right?
